From Steve Jobs to Jack Dorsey to Mark Zuckerberg, Silicon Valley’s tech companies are helmed primarily by well-connected white men. And while their achievements are certainly laudable, their homogeneity gives the impression that only a certain kind of person can succeed in the world of high-powered innovation.

But Shellye Archambeau is here to prove that that impression is mistaken. As one of the first African American women to act as both a CEO in the tech sector and a board member for Fortune 500 companies, she’ll be the first to admit that she sticks out a bit among her peers. But she’ll also tell you that she didn’t end up in her position by accident. So how did an African American woman from a frugal family find herself in the C-suite, all while managing the needs of a growing family? Was it just luck, or is there a secret to having it all?

In Unapologetically Ambitious, Archambeau details how her determination, patience, and penchant for meticulous planning allowed her to accomplish the goals that she first established as a driven teenager. Along the way, she shares specific pieces of actionable advice to help anyone reach their own highest aspirations. Both an inspiring memoir and a roadmap toward personal and professional success, this book is about giving yourself permission to truly go after what you want—no matter who you are or where you come from.
